Google may soon be launching a service similar to iMessage and WhatsApp.

Code in the latest version of Android Messages, Google's SMS app, seems to point at two new features, including one that would allow users to send text messages from multiple computers.

The code also suggests Google may be planning to offer its own features to work with RCS messaging - which gives SMS additional features such as higher resolution images, read receipts, and typing indicators - just like iMessage.

The code, analysed by Android Police, shows that Google may be getting ready to launch a web interface that would allow users to pair their phones to a computer to send texts, just like with WhatsApp and iMessage.

While Google already has a similar system called Allo, which allows users to send messages from their desktop, not many people were able to take advantage of it because not many people use Allo.

If the new Android Messages feature is implemented, 'Android Messages will share the same basic setup procedure with Allo,' according to software engineer and writer Cody Tombs.

'You'll be guided to visit a website on the computer you want to pair with your phone, then simply scan a QR code.
